Historical Note:

The 1928 OSC-NYU game represented the first time that Oregon State
traveled to the East Coast to play a football team in that area of the
United States. The OSC team left Corvallis on November 22, just 5 days
after an upset loss to the University of Oregon. Traveling by train, the
team stopped in Chicago and worked out at Soldier Field on Monday and
Tuesday of the following week. The team arrived in New York City on
Wednesday, November 28, one day before the game.

Oregon State, a 3-1 underdog coming into the game, had a 5-3 record;
NYU's record was 8-1. Despite the odds and several players ill with the
flu, OSC won the Thanksgiving Day game played at Yankee Stadium by a score
of 25-13. The victory was the subject of many sportswriters columns' over
the next several days. The team's return to Oregon was greeted by crowds
at stops along the way, including LaGrande, Pendleton, The Dalles,
Portland and Corvallis.
